RE: How to split a bog-standard analogue stereo signal without distortion

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shouldn't be any distortion doing that unless the amps you are feedint
into
short unused inputs to ground thereby overloading the source.

Take the signal and feed each amp through a resistor of between 100 ohm and
1kohm, you may get a slight loss of signal but nothing noticable and it
will
prevent either of the amps from overloading the source.
